    There is no marinading and no frying and there is no mess at all. Moist and tender pieces of chicken are coated in a spicy gravy with Asian flavors. Now, black pepper is obviously spicy and a decent amount of that is added in this recipe. So, you better like spicy food because this is not for the faint of heart. Making this is just as easy as my Cashew Chicken (One Pot) or this Honey Sriracha Chicken (One Pot)

    How to make easy one pot Asian Chinese black pepper chicken recipe on stovetop?

    1. Heat oil.
    2. Saute ginger, garlic, onions.
    3. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, vinegar, black pepper, salt, red chili flakes, cornstarch, water and mix.
    4. Cover and cook.
    5. Then, add green peppers.
    6. Cook uncovered until sauce thickens and you are done.

    What to serve with panda express copycat chicken stir fry?

    Serve with Cauliflower Fried Rice (One Pot) or just regular vegetable fried rice. You can also serve a side of Asian Cucumber Salad (One Bowl).  If you are fond of pasta, serve with Sesame Noodles (One Pot).I suggest replacing regular noodles with very thin angel hair spaghetti because overall, it just works better for this meal. You can also serve with quinoa or plain boiled rice. Jasmine rice is a great choice!

    Tips and Variations

    • Use a non-stick pan or a non-stick wok to prevent sticking and burning.
    • Use low sodium broth and soy sauce to prevent meal from becoming too salty.
    • Don't omit sesame oil because even though it's a small amount, it adds a lot of flavor and aroma.
    • Add green peppers near the end to prevent them from becoming too soft and soggy. You want them to be tender but firm.
    • The amount of black pepper and red chili flakes can be adjusted, based on your preference.
    • Other vegetables of your choice can be added such as celery, small broccoli florets, green beans e.t.c.
    • Marinade- You can use all the ingredients in this recipe to marinate chicken wings, thighs, breasts, drumsticks to make black pepper grilled chicken.
    • Dry gravy- Cook uncovered on medium heat, near the end to reduce and evaporate liquid until you have a thick gravy that's coating the chicken pieces. Don't reduce the liquid too much because that would make the chicken dry.
    • Wet gravy- Add a little more broth or water and don't cook for too long near the end because that would evaporate and reduce the liquid.

      This was so easy! I added some green beans and used Egyptian rice. I was told I could make this again. Yes! 5 stars
